The admins at Bitcointalk should have several IP addresses from Satoshi,because the IPs are saved in the logs. They are in the Database somewhere!
Why not revealing them?

According to Theymos, Satoshi only ever used Tor to access bitcointalk.org - logs do exist, although they have yet to be made public.

I found a source as follows but theymos might have changed his mind..

I'll probably release Satoshi's PMs and logged IPs addresses in ~8 years. This'd probably be of great historical interest. (Though he always used Tor, as far as I can tell.)

All you are going to get is IPs from old tor exit nodes. The whole point of using TOR is so that people can't get your IP to begin with...

Which reminds me, was there ever access to this forum as a hidden service .onion address?

Indeed. (I'm someone who has hosted many Tor .exit nodes (in the past) for a number of years ...)

No. There was never any hidden service .onion address for bitcointalk.org - to the best of my knowledge.

An alt. forum account of mine (i.e. me) actually hosted what can be described as the first (public) Bitcoin addnode=.onion:8333 service for Bitcoin.

Here, ...

Thanks once more for your help theymos.

That's eliminated all error messages with Tor. Now have a stable set number of connections mostly within .onion land  Grin

Our Bitcoin node should be up 24/7 except for an occasional server restart.

Bitcoin only Tor .onion address: bxfna6fhddpzduck.onion

P.S. I am not Satoshi Nakamoto either. But lots of folks here have (seemingly) lied to you and tried to cover things up ...
